[Intro]While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,There are frail forms fainting at the door.Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say,Oh, hard times, come again no more.There's the song, the sigh of the weary.Hard times, hard times, come again no more.Many days you have lingered on around my cabin door.Oh, hard times, come again no more.[Verse 1]He was an Odessa boy with a daddy in the moneyhe played for Mojo back in the boomdrove a Corvette took what he wanted from peoplethey learned to give him lots of room[Chorus]Well he never learned to workbut that never really matteredbecause the dark crude flowedthe wild oats scatteredthe dark, crude, it flowedHe fought, he flatteredand he got what he wantedit was the only thing that matteredSongtexte[Verse 2]Well life was easy and the big jacks pumpedpooring cash from the permian fieldThere were cabinets full of high grade scotch garage, full of high speed steel[Chorus][Verse 3]Then he killed a girl when he rolled the CorvetteDaddy's money made the lawyers go awayhis mother bought vodka with all that cashshe kind of knew, yeah she kind of knewWell he's an old man nowlives on his dead Daddy's placenever took a wife, gunna die without a traceyou see he loved the girl who was pinned in the 'vettehe talkes to her everydayher face face was blood and diamondshe remembers her, that way.[Chorus][Outro]There's a pale droopy maiden who toiled her life awayWith a worn heart, whose better days are o'er.Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighin' all the day,Oh, hard times, come again no more.
